None of the name or the IP address for freedom changed (and the behaviour is the same with IPv4) If I answer 'yes' the known_hosts file is not updated. I have to remove the ecdsa key manually to have the ed25519 key for the IP address added automatically. ie : % ssh-keygen -R '2a03:7220:8081:6101:6552:9ca8:512b:9251' # Host 2a03:7220:8081:6101:6552:9ca8:512b:9251 found: line 53 /home/matthieu/.ssh/known_hosts updated. Original contents retained as /home/matthieu/.ssh/known_hosts.old % ssh freedom Warning: Permanently added the ED25519 host key for IP address '2a03:7220:8081:6101:6552:9ca8:512b:9251' to the list of known hosts. I find this quite disturbing (and it breaks some non interactive scripts). Is it the intended behaviour ? -- Matthieu Herrb _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
